Kids, as you may know, Marshall and I always had a tradition where, in every three years, we sat together and watched Star Wars on my VHS. While Barney was added to the frame, and all three of us said what we think would happen in the next three years, this wasn't the case. It was a lazy day with Marshall, Lily, and Robin together, as Barney was busy picking up women with the help of Trixie, both in Star Wars outfits.

Barney and Trixie stood at the Table, Barney wearing a Han Solo outfit while Trixie was in a bear costume, trying to look like Chewbacca, though her face was sticking out like a sore thumb.

"Now Trixie," Barney said "the only thing you have to do is make little roars, okay?"

"Little roars?" Trixie asked "But why?"

"Why? Well... you're Chewbacca from Star Wars."

"Star Wars?" Barney stared at Trixie with widened eyes.

"You have never seen Star Wars!?"

"Trixie hasn't."

"OH MY GOD!!! I thought you did!!!"

"Why?"

"I thought you know about the Storm Trooper outfit in our home!"

"That? Trixie thought it was your father's in a war." Barney stared at her for a bit. He then carried her.

"Come on! You have got to see the best movie in your entire life!!!" Barney sprinted out of the door with Trixie in his arms, as they went to Ted's house.

The rest of the gang watched some boring news together.

"Do you want me to get us some sandwiches?" Marshall asked in a bored tone.

"It's too early for that." Lily replied

"Why are we even watching the news?" Robin asked.

"It was Ted's idea." Marshal answered.

"SHH!!!" Ted shushed! "It's on!" The news switched to a little something about one of Ted's apartments in production. Everyone groaned.

"Where's Barney when you need him?" Robin groaned.

"And where's that adorable Trixie?" Lily added. The door banged a few times.

"I'll get it." Marshall said, getting up to answer the door. He opened it, greeted with Barney and Trixie in costume.

"Trixie hasn't seen Star Wars yet!" Barney yelled

"WHAT!?!?!? How!? Did she even recognized the Storm Trooper outfit!?"

"I thought the same thing, but she claim's it was my Dad's suit in battle!"

"She has to watch the best movie of all time!"

"You're right! TED!!!"

"Busy!" Ted replied, still watching for his part.

"Listen to Beethoven and Daddy, Ape!" Trixie yelled.

"Come on, Ted." Lily "We've been watching nothing but boring news all, can't we just do something fun for once?"  

"No!" Ted replied with a harsh tone. "Not until my part is on!"

"...That's it!" Robin yelled. She got up and switched the channel to the VHS Channel.

"HEY!!! I was watching that!"

"Ted," Marshall said, walking next to his friend. "Trixie hasn't seen Star Wars yet, and Star Wars is your all time favorite movie."

"...I don't like her around here." Ted pouted.

"Oh come on! She may enjoy it and the you two can finally get along."

"...And if she doesn't?"

"Your lack of faith disturbs me." Barney said in his best Darth Vader voice, placing Trixie on Ted's lap and going to his chair. "Besides, it's not like we're watching the prequels first." Everyone but Trixie shuttered.

"...Trixie doesn't understand." Trixie said. "Trixie is not afraid of these 'Prequels'!"

"...You will be," Ted spoke in his best Yoda voice. "you will be." They all chuckled, and again, Trixie was confused.

"So are we doing this or what!?" Robin asked.

"...Play it!" Robin pulled out the VHS tape and placed it inside the VHS player. Lily turned off all the lights in the house and closed the windows. The opening credits began and Trixie was already hooked!

The movie ended. Lily turned the light back on and reopened the windows. Trixie began to bounce up & down.

"AGAIN!!!" Trixie yelled "Trixie wants to watch it again!!!"

"Actually," Ted said, patting Trixie's mane "there's two other movies that go with this."

"MORE!?!?!?"

"And with the greatest plot twist of all time." Marshall added.

"...MORE!!! SHOW TRIXIE MORE!!!"

"We will." Ted said. "Through time, we will watch 'The Empire Strikes Back' and 'Return of the Jedi'."

"And if you're curious," Barney added. "then we can watch the prequels." Everyone shuttered again.

"...Episode 3 was pretty good." Lily said. Everyone nodded their heads and agreed.

Over the next few weeks, Trixie and I watched the rest of the Star Wars movies. I actually had a great time with her during those movies, as she had the same reaction I had when I was around her age. We went through the same things: The Battle of Hoth, Training with Yoda, Darth Vader being Luke's father, rescuing Han Solo from Jabba the Hut, goodbye to Yoda, the uncomfortable realization that Luke & Leia were siblings, destroying the Death Star again and the galaxy being freed. I won't tell you about our time with the prequels, but, along with her strange phobia of wheels, which we'll get to soon, she also developed a fear around Jar Jar Binks, to which is a mixed blessing. And I can never forget on that night.

Ted was sleeping in his room when the door opened, revealing some light to Ted's eyes. He shuffled himself around avoiding the light.

"Ted?" Trixie's voice squeaked. Ted opened his eyes lazily.

"Yeah?" he responded.

"Is it alright if I sleep with you for the night?"

"...Sure." Trixie leaped up to Ted's bed, walking over to Ted's face. "Care to tell me why you're here?"

"Oh... that? Well... Trixie had a nightmare."

"And what was it?"

"... Jar Jar Binks chased Trixie on a unicycle."

"...Is that it?"

"It's silly, Trixie will agree, but Trixie knows why you and everyone else shutters at the prequels."

"That's... good to know." Ted closed his eyes and went back to sleep. Trixie got up and tapped Ted's head.

"Ted?"

"Mm?"

"...Trixie is sorry for what Trixie did to you." Ted opened his eyes in surprise. Trixie yawned, walked in a circle, then flopped onto the bed in a circle. She then closed her eyes and very light breathed. "Goodnight... Boba Fett." She was fast asleep. Ted smiled before going to sleep again.

"Goodnight... little Padawan."

And, just like that, all was forgiven. Sure, Trixie gave me a hard time with the others, but that's normal, even for me.

Well... how did you think of J.J. Abram's Star Wars movies?

Um... I never actually saw them.

WHAT!?!?!?

I was working hard, okay? We'll watch it as soon as I'm done, okay?
